Raíces Cultural Center (Ensemble & Students)-Yemayá

February 19, 2011, New Brunswick, NJ

The Raíces Cultural Center Ensemble and student performers presented the folkloric traditions of the Orishas (Cuba) and the Vejigantes (Puerto Rico) at the Lounge Society's Annual Black History Festival. Raíces is dedicated to the preservation of cultural roots through the arts and seeks to educate audiences about the history of the traditions as well as pass on and demonstrate them through performances, classes and workshops.
